Over the years, the Premier League has never failed to provide us with entertaining football. In its 27th year, the EPL is easily among the most important leagues in the world. Although there are hardly any dull moments, there have been some seasons which are clearly etched in the memory of the fans.
Be it the invincible Arsenal season or the United Treble, some Premier League seasons have clearly stood out from the rest.
This weekend will be the beginning of another nine months of action-packed football. Even with a comparatively dull transfer season preceding it, this season might be among the most exciting seasons in the history of the Premier League. Here are the 3 crazy, yet far-fetched predictions which might make this the most memorable season ever.
#1 Another trophyless season for Manchester United
It is no news that things are not well at Old Trafford. In recent press conferences, Mourinho has claimed that his side are in for a 'difficult' season due to the lack of signings and everybody seems to agree.
United started their transfer season brilliantly by signing Fred but they seem to have lost their way. Moreover, there is huge speculation around Pogba's future and he may be all set to leave the club. Martial's pre-season controversy has worsened things further.
The low morale of the team was on full display in the embarrassing loss to Bayern Munich where even Alexis Sanchez couldn't hit a single shot on target for the Red Devils.
As of now, United look a strong enough side to finish in the top 4 but a few egos and transfer mistakes may hurt United's chances. If efforts are not made in the right direction, this season may be remembered as the season when all came tumbling down for the greatest club in the history of English club football.
#2 Liverpool win the League title
It has been 28 years since Liverpool last held the league title. Over the years, managers like Brendan Rodgers and Rafa Benitez have come mightily close but couldn't get the Reds over the line and win the league. However, many believe that the wait is finally over .
Fans of the Reds think they have finally found an answer in Jurgen Klopp. Klopp guided his men to a successful season last year when Liverpool finished fourth in the league and narrowly missed out on a sixth Champions League title. Typical of a Jurgen Klopp team, it was its defense which let the team down.
However, Liverpool have made the most of the summer transfer window and made amends at the back. The inclusion of defensive players like Fabinho and Keita gives them more options and increases the squad depth.
However, it is the inclusion of Alisson Becker which hopefully will be the most effective. Becker is coming off an excellent World Cup performance and totally deserves being the costliest goalkeeper in the world. Xherdan Shaqiri has also been bought by Liverpool to bolster an already blistering Liverpool attack.
Things look very good for Liverpool on paper and they might just edge Manchester City to the league title by being a little more consistent.
#3 Aubameyang becomes the Top Scorer
He is fit, he is tall and he is ridiculously fast. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, against popular belief, seems like a serious contender to win the golden boot. In what seems like a three-way race between Kane, Salah and Aguero, the Gabonese striker is a dark horse.
He joined the London club in January last season and finished with an impressive record of 10 goals from just 13 appearances. To add to that, Aubameyang perfectly fits into the fast-paced system that Unai Emery looks to set up at the Emirates. Emery has also come out in praise of the forward and has recently claimed him to be a 'world class poacher'.
Aubameyang will not be alone as he will be supported by a very determined Mesut Ozil in attack. Together, these two can pierce through any Premier League defense. The striker can also depend on Mkhitaryan and new signing Torreira to feed him with assists into the box.
If given the necessary support this season can have Aubameyang written all over it and the season can be remembered as the season when Aubameyang announced himself as the best striker in England.
